[Keila Diehl]

While we're on the topic of Percival Lowell... here is a wonderful photo 
of him taken by Asa M. Mattice, an officer on the USS /Juniata/, which 
toured East Asia in 
1883-1885:https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/photo-essay/499?page=5

This image is part of a remarkable collection of glass negatives owned 
by U.S. photographer John Dowling, who curated this /Cross-Currents/ 
photo essay about the voyage of the /Juniata./ Read Dowling's curator's
